Selecting the Harmony/Echo type

You can select the desired Harmony/Echo effect from a variety of types.

NOTE When the [MONO] button is turned to on or you use the Super Articulation Voices, the Harmony/Echo effect may not work properly.

1 Turn the [HARMONY/ECHO] button on.

2 Call up the operation display.

[FUNCTION] → [H] HARMONY/ECHO

3 Use the [1 ▲▼]–[3 ▲▼] buttons to select the Harmony/Echo type.

The Harmony/Echo types are divided into the following groups, depending on the particular effect

applied.

■ Harmony Types

When one of the Harmony Types is selected, the Harmony effect is applied to the note played in the right-

hand section of the keyboard according to the type selected above and the chord speciﬁed in the chord

section of the keyboard shown below.

■ Multi Assign Type

The Multi Assign effect automatically assigns notes played simultaneously on the right-hand section of the

keyboard to separate parts (Voices). Both of the keyboard part [RIGHT 1] and [RIGHT 2] should be turn

on when using the Multi Assign effect. The Right 1 and Right 2 Voices are alternately assigned to the notes

in the order you play.

Harmony Types

These types apply the harmony effect to notes played in the right-hand sec-

tion of the keyboard according to the chord speciﬁed in the left-hand section

of the keyboard. (Note that the “1+5” and “Octave” settings are not affected

by the chord.)

Multi Assign Type

This type applies a special effect to chords played in the right-hand section

of the keyboard.

Echo Types

These types apply echo effects to notes played in the right-hand section of

the keyboard in time with the currently set tempo.

■ Echo Types

When one of the Echo Types is selected, the corresponding effect (echo, tremolo, trill) is applied to the

note played in the right-hand section of the keyboard in time with the currently set tempo, regardless of the

[ACMP] and the LEFT part on/off status. Keep in mind that Trill works when you hold down two notes on

the keyboard simultaneously (last two notes if more than two notes are held), and it plays those notes

alternately.

4 Use the [4 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] buttons to select various Harmony/Echo settings.

The available settings differ depending on the Harmony/Echo type.

[4 ▲▼]VOLUME This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi

Assign.” It determines the level of the harmony/echo notes generated by

the Harmony/Echo effect.

[5 ▲▼] SPEED This parameter is only available when Echo, Tremolo, or Trill is selected

in Type above. It determines the speed of the Echo, Tremolo, and Trill

effects.

[6 ▲▼] ASSIGN This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi

Assign.” This lets you determine the keyboard part via which the har-

mony/echo notes will be sounded.

[7 ▲▼] CHORD NOTE

ONLY

This parameter is available when one of the Harmony Types is selected.

When this is set to “ON,” the Harmony effect is applied only to the note

(played in the right-hand section of the keyboard) that belongs to a chord

played in the chord section of the keyboard.

[8 ▲▼]TOUCH LIMIT This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi

Assign.” It determines the lowest velocity value at which the harmony

note will sound. This allows you to selectively apply the harmony by your

playing strength, letting you create harmony accents in the melody. The

harmony effect is applied when you play the key strongly (above the set

value).

Fine-tuning the Pitch of the Entire Instrument

You can ﬁne-tune the pitch of the entire instrument—useful when you play the PSR-S910/S710 along with

other instruments or CD music. Please note that the Tune function does not affect the Drum Kit or SFX Kit

Voices and audio ﬁles.

1 Call up the operation display.

[FUNCTION] → [A] MASTER TUNE/SCALE TUNE → TAB [E][F] MASTER TUNE

2 Use the [4 ▲▼]/[5 ▲▼] buttons to set the tuning in 0.2 Hz steps, from 414.8–466.8 Hz.

Press the both 4 or 5’s [

▲

] and [

▼

] buttons simultaneously to reset the value to the factory setting of 440.0 Hz.

Scale Tuning

You can select various scales for playing in custom tunings for speciﬁc historical periods or music genres.

1 Call up the operation display.

[FUNCTION] → [A] MASTER TUNE/SCALE TUNE → TAB [E][F] SCALE TUNE

2 Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the desired scale.

■ Preset Scale types

Pitch-Related Settings

EQUAL The pitch range of each octave is divided equally into twelve parts, with each

half-step evenly spaced in pitch. This is the most commonly used tuning in

music today.

PURE MAJOR, PURE

MINOR

These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each scale, espe-

cially for triad chords (root, third, ﬁfth). You can hear this best in actual vocal

harmonies—such as choirs and a cappella singing.

PYTHAGOREAN This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher and is created from a

series of perfect ﬁfths, which are collapsed into a single octave. The 3rd in this

tuning are slightly unstable, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for

some leads.

MEAN-TONE This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale, by making

the major third interval more “in tune.” It was especially popular from the 16th

century to the 18th century. Handel, among others, used this scale.

WERCKMEISTER,

KIRNBERGER

This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger systems,

which were themselves improvements on the mean-tone and Pythagorean

scales. The main feature of this scale is that each key has its own unique char-

acter. The scale was used extensively during the time of Bach and Beethoven,

and even now it is often used when performing period music on the harpsi-

chord.

ARABIC1, ARABIC2 Use these tunings when playing Arabic music.

The tuning of each note for the cur-

rently selected scale is shown.

[2 ▲▼]BASE NOTE Determines the base note for each scale. When the base note is changed,

the pitch of the keyboard is transposed, yet maintains the original pitch

relationship between the notes.

[3 ▲▼]–

[5 ▲▼]

TUNE Select the desired note to be tuned by using the [3 ▲▼] buttons and tune

it in cents by using the [4 ▲▼]/[5 ▲▼] buttons.

EG

The EG (Envelope Generator) settings determine how the level of the

sound changes in time. This lets you reproduce many sound

characteristics of natural acoustic instruments—such as the quick

attack and decay of percussion sounds, or the long release of a

sustained piano tone.

VIBRATO

Vibrato is a quavering, vibrating sound effect that is produced by

regularly modulating the pitch of the Voice.

■ EFFECT/EQ Page

Chord Tutor

If you know the name of a chord but don’t know how to play, you can have the instrument show you the

notes to play. This is the Chord Tutor function.

On the CHORD FINGERING display, specify the Chord Root and Chord Type by using the [6 ▲▼]–[8

▲▼] button. The notes you need to play are shown in the display.

NOTE Depending on the chord, some notes may be omitted.

Chord Fingering Types

NOTE “AI” stands for “Artiﬁcial Intelligence.”

SINGLE FINGER Makes it simple to produce orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh,

minor and minor-seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys on the

Chord section of the keyboard. This type is available only for Style playback.

The abbreviated chord ﬁngerings described below are used:

MULTI FINGER Automatically detects Single Finger or Fingered chord ﬁngerings, so you can

use either type of ﬁngering without having to switch ﬁngering types.

FINGERED Lets you ﬁnger your own chords on the chord section of the keyboard, while

the instrument supplies appropriately orchestrated rhythm, bass, and chord

accompaniment in the selected Style. The Fingered type recognizes the various

chord types which are listed on the Data List available at the Yamaha website

and can be looked up using the Chord Tutor function on page 16.

FINGERED ON BASS Accepts the same ﬁngerings as Fingered, but the lowest note played in the

Chord section of the keyboard is used as the bass note, allowing you to play

“on bass” chords. (In the Fingered mode, the root of the chord is always used

as the bass note.)

FULL KEYBOARD Detects chords in the entire key range. Chords are detected in a way similar to

Fingered, even if you split the notes between your left and right hands—for

example, playing a bass note with your left hand and a chord with your right,

or by playing a chord with your left hand and a melody note with your right.

AI FINGERED Basically the same as Fingered, with the exception that less than three notes

can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord,

etc.).

AI FULL KEYBOARD When this advanced ﬁngering type is engaged, the instrument will automati-

cally create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything,

anywhere on the keyboard using both hands. You don’t have to worry about

specifying the Style chords. Although the AI Full Keyboard type is designed to

work with many songs, some arrangements may not be suitable for use with

this feature. This type is similar to Full Keyboard, with the exception that less

than three notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously

played chord, etc.). 9th, 11th and 13th chords cannot be played. This type is

available only for Style playback.

SETTING

2 Use the [1 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] buttons for each setting.

Style Playback Related Settings

[1 ▲▼]STOP ACMP When [ACMP] is turned on and [SYNC START] is off, you can play

chords in the chord section of the keyboard with the Style stopped, and

still hear the accompaniment chord. In this condition—called “Stop

Accompaniment”—any valid chord ﬁngerings are recognized and the

chord root/type are shown in the display. Here, you can determine

whether the chord played in the chord section will sound or not in the

Stop Accompaniment status.

OFF

The chord played in the chord section will not sound.

STYLE

The chord played in the chord section will sound via the Voices for the

Pad part and the Bass channel of the selected Style.

FIXED

The chord played in the chord section will sound via the speciﬁed Voice,

regardless of the selected Style.

NOTE When the selected Style contains MegaVoices, unexpected sounds may result when this is set to

“STYLE.”

NOTE When you record a song, the chord detected by playing the Stop Accompaniment can be recorded

regardless of the setting here. Please note that both the Voice that is sounded and the chord data

will be recorded when set to “STYLE,” and only the chord data will be recorded when set to “OFF”

or “FIXED.”

[2 ▲▼]OTS LINK TIM-

ING

This applies to the OTS Link function. This parameter determines the

timing in which the One Touch Settings change with the MAIN VARIA-

TION [A]–[D] change. (The [OTS LINK] button must be on.)

REAL TIME

One Touch Setting is immediately called up when you press a MAIN

VARIATION button.

NEXT BAR

One Touch Setting is called up at the next measure, after you press a

MAIN VARIATION button.

[3 ▲▼] SYNCHRO

STOP WIN-

DOW

This determines how long you can hold a chord before the Synchro Stop

function is automatically cancelled. When the [SYNC STOP] button is

turned on and this is set to a value other than “OFF,” this is automatically

cancels the Synchro Stop function if you hold a chord for longer than the

time set here. This conveniently resets Style playback control to normal,

letting you release the keys and still have the Style play. In other words, if

you release the keys sooner than the time set here, the Synchro Stop func-

tion works.

[4 ▲▼] STYLE TOUCH Turns touch response for the Style playback on/off. When this is set to

“ON,” the Style volume changes in response to your playing strength in

the chord section of the keyboard.

SECTION SET Determines the default section that is automatically called up when

selecting different Styles (when Style playback is stopped). When set to

“OFF” and Style playback is stopped, the active section is maintained

even if the different Style is selected. When any of the MAIN A–D sec-

tions is not included in the Style data, the nearest section is automatically

selected. For example, when MAIN D is not contained in the selected

Style, MAIN C will be called up.

[7 ▲▼] TEMPO This determines whether the tempo changes or not when you change

Styles during Style playback.

HOLD

The tempo setting of the previous Style is maintained.

RESET

The tempo changes to that of the initial default tempo for the selected

Style.

[8 ▲▼]PART ON/OFF This determines whether the Style Channel On/Off status changes or not

when you change Styles.
